[Verse]
Call me, if you want to see me
Call me, if you still believe me
Because I'm not going to hide
No, I'm not going to hide from you
If you still think you need me
Like I do, I want you to feed me
With your love, I'll be strong
With your love, ill be strong and carry on
Don't be hurt by what you've seen, dear
I know it's like a dream, dear
Remember, I slept too
Remember, I slept too with you
It's time that we both went through it
If we don't, then we know we'll blew it
'Cause we've gotta give it a try, (gotta give it, give it a try)
Yeah, we've gotta give it a try, yeah, you and I
We tried, (we know that we tried)
But we didn't make it. (we tried, you know that we tried)
Now we don't (we don't, you know that we don't)
Ever have to fake it. (we tried, you know that we tried)
Well, we'll go on our way, (go on our way)
Yeah, we'll go on our way, it's a brand new day
Call me, if you want to see me
Call me, (call me, call me, oo)
If you want to still be my friend
You can call me, (call me, call me, oo)
If you want to see me again
Why don't you call me? (we tried, you know that we tried)
You can call me. (we tried, you know that we tried)
If you want to still be my friend. (we tried, you know that we tried)

[Outro]
(be-doo-be-doo)
(we tried, you know that we tried, ah -)
(we tried, you know that we tried)
(we tried)

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
